Listening to our beneficiaries: The Senior Sector Workshop
On the 27th of August, I went to The Rainbow Centre (one of Ikamva Labantu’s Multi-Purpose Centres) in Guguletu for a Senior Sector workshop. I must tell you, I left this workshop more confident than ever that Ikamva Labantu is truly committed to bringing our communities closer to realizing Ikamva Labantu’s vision of developing self-reliant and sustainable community based organisations in order to facilitate positive social change. And not only are we committed to this vision, but our Senior Sector can serve as a wonderful indication that we are, in fact, on the right track!
Background Post: The Senior Sector
When you examine older person’s issues in a South African context, there emerges an urgent call to action. A call that Ikamva Labantu has responded to. Ikamva Labantu has developed the Senior Sector. The programme serves more than 650 seniors in 17 senior centres known as senior clubs in the townships.
